“I didn't have any food, so I went here on a Friday night to meet a friend. I had never been to cricket before and now I wanna go back. This bar Toots is a big part of why I wanna go back, it's an amazingly cool dive bar with a back room stage for live music. Last night when I went it was a punk rock band and they were really good. The crowd as you might imagine was colorful and surprisingly diverse. The bar keep was friendly and on it so my drink was never empty, they had a really good porter on tap and it was always filled completely to the rim where you have to sip the top down just to pick it up. I wish I had stayed longer to see how the scene goes, my feeling is it's a great place to hangout on a Friday night, and if you happen to get bored there's like another bar a block or so away you can go between. I saw several small groups of peeps just hanging out together up n down the main drag. Parking might be an issue so either go early or Uber. I loved it!“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.
Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.
I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.
If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.
Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“We came here because we saw it online and saw that it was Black owned and had 5 stars. Finally got a reservation and very pleased. We got sat in the speakeasy section and it’s a trip. Food is Really good really rich. Seabass special was exquisite. Everything was on point and service was attentive.“

“This was my first time dining there. Definitely not my last. First class atmosphere, Customer Service and food. I see other items on the menu I want to try. And the best part is the locale. I only live 2.5 miles away from a top notch dining venue on the water. Fantastic!!“
“The nachos a 9/10 (and not just because I was buzzing lol)
The empanadas 7/10
Chicharrones with guacamole 6/10
Queso fundido 8/10
Warm olives 10/10 (like always)
It has a very Beach vibe with a unique bar stool seating area outside the bar perfect for a warm summer night. The bartender was very welcoming, I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but service was great. If you like additive free tequila or mezcal this is the place for you! Me and my girl will be back for sure“

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“
“First time going in and the place is bigger than it looks outside. The bartenders are super nice and welcoming. Mostly locals that frequents the place. Seems everyone know each other. Very laid back with outdoor area for pingpong or card games to dominoes and 5 dice, wow! Inside is a jukebox, a dart board game. Over by the corner they have video games. 1 pinball and 1 bowling game. If your not interested with the games they provide, I can almost garantee that someone there will find you and engage in a long but good conversation. The walls and ceiling is draped with one dollar bills all over inside. Interesting to see and count. I'd say there's about 2356 dollars in one dollar bills but not up for the taking.“
“It was a great positive experience and true local hidden gem! Come say hi to the owner Ann, tell her I sent you.“

“Best vibes for sure! Met Westley who told us about the place during a visit to Napa, and we're so glad we stopped by! It happened to be 80s prom nigh, and it felt like the entire little town of Benicia was there to party. Young to old. Everyone was all smiles, dancing, and courteous. The live band was top notch. Bartenders were personable and attentive. It had a real small town, close knit feel. Everyone knew and loved Westley. Nicest guy. We didn't try any food, so no notes there. Hopefully we'll make our way there again someday.“
“Nu-Rays is a town icon with history. It's the kind of bar locals visit frequently and share stories at great prices on beverages! If you're looking for low lights, friendly bar tenders, and great prices this is your kind of bar. 🥃🍺🍸🍹
Parking: First come first served metered street parking and a few lots with meters.“

“This is one of my very favorite restaurants in Martinez. I love the window seat when I can get it. Love the charming privacy it lends itself too. The service is amazing; especially if you get Darlene! She is friendly, efficient, clearly loves what she does! You are greeted as if your a long lost friend! The food is so fresh and very tasty. I've never had a bad meal in this place. They bring free bread with a balsamic dip to the table that is so good. I could drink the dip. Lol. Their CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD, DELUXE DUNGENESS CRAB MELT, GEMELLI PASTA WITH ROASTED SEASONAL VEGETABLES, AND THEIR COASTAL LINGUINI, (I substituted with chicken.) are some of my favorites. All theirs food is off the hook! Their prices are just slightly higher than the average; however, their food is great quality and they give a huge portion. They have live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. I've not been there on those nights. I feel quite confident that it just adds to the already charming atmosphere.
Just love, love, love this place.
If you only have one place to eat at in Martinez, this is it!

“One of my all time favorite spots to play pool, bartenders are great, they don’t gouge you for the drinks while having a nice selection of beer and whiskey. Security does a phenomenal job especially when the place is busy and they’re super friendly. With a pinball machine, shuffleboard, and darts it’s tough not have fun while you’re there.“
“I had a great time at this restaurant the food was good the atmosphere was nice and the servers were knowledgeable about the food. This place seems brand new so everything looks new and clean. The service was a bit slow but hopefully they get faster with experience.“
“all of the above and then some!“
“Always a fun time, if you havent tried it its worth a stop. Coffee shop by day, bar evenings thurs-sun. They have an awesome Happy hour on thursdays at the time of review (5$ beer, 7$ mixed drink if I recall right?). If I do get a mixed drink, this is the place to get it. Pictured is the egg white sour. They do breakfast, but not dinner foods durinb bar service. Also, as a plus, they usually don't have live music, so you can actually hear the other person you're talking to.“

“I don't really like bars for the most part, but this place has a great music scene!
I came to support a friend at the jam, Ceasar Myles and the Dreaded Truth reggae band came from the SF peninsula, and the next thing you know we had a Saturday night gig.
Now they want us back...
So much for staying out of bars.
The family atmosphere on the Tuesday night jams is amazing, I really can't say anything bad about the place.
As a musician, getting a consistent warm welcome and a plate of food is over the top for me.
I have never been treated so well at a club gig, it's like being the headliner at a festival, such nice people there!“

“We had the most pleasant experience celebrating our anniversary at Baxters! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was absolutely perfect — warm, and beautifully set for a special evening. The owner and servers were incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. The food was delicious — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. To top it all off, they surprised us with a celebratory toast and a song for our anniversary, which made the night even more memorable and special. That personal touch meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Baxters to anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a truly special experience!“

“Been to this local restaurant bar for about a year now and they m finally posting my review.
It is a Nepalese restaurant that offers traditional cuisine and also has a separate kitchen serving a Mississippi style cat fish.The food is really good all around. Try their MOMOS
It is family owned. The cook /owner is the father and the bartender is the son. Highly recommend this place for dining in or just stopping by to have a beer or a cocktail.They also do catering.“

“Goo place to hang out and connect with other Vets.“
“Reading these reviews, the good ones, bring back wonderful memories of the past. I was there most Friday afternoon/evenings from 90 to 93 when stationed at CSTSC Mare Island as an instructor. Great to see this place still in business. Great people then and apparently now.“
“I never found the Golf Course meeting people is different since I forgot half of the amount of difference Vallejo Development has been since I never made it“
“Bartenders are great and very friendly! They are on it to serve more drinks and very attentive! Been coming every evening. Highly recommend ! Police station near by but never any problems there ! Patrons friendly as well make you feel at home! Not to mention the drinks have better prices than any bar in town
Parking: There’s always parking and if there’s not can always park in the street !“
“Amazing place. Amazing people. I was staying in the area and wanted to go to a good local bar. Everyone I met there were friendly and chatty. The bartenders were awesome to. I had a really great time here and I hope to stay in the area again soon to go back, if you’re in a motel close. Check this place out!“

“Nice place to hang out and watch some live music. Was there to play the club with my band Midnight Sinfini. The sound system wasn't high tech so the sound could have been better but was a really fun place to play a show. I would consider playing here again.“

“Very happy with the pork fried rice both the quality and generous portion. The sweet and sour pork is also really good. I sat in the bar next door and had a beer while I waited for my food. Not that I had to wait long. I will definitely be back if not for the food then to hang out at the bar.“
